The Porsche name was built on agility and power: with a small
frame, low weight and powerful engine, Porsche cars such as the
356, 550 and 911 were very popular with racers and sports car fans
around the world. In 1972, after a rules change in the World
Sportscar Championship, Porsche unleashed the ultra-lightweight 911
Carrera RS 2.7 for the road, as well as the RSR racing version in
the Group 4 GT class. This model was based on the 911 S which had
won the Monte Carlo Rally and was designed to take on cars with
engines twice as strong. For the 1973 racing season the engine
increased in size to 2.8 litres, and the screaming flat-six 'boxer'
engine pushed out 300hp at 8,000 RPM, proving to be the ideal match
for the nimble 911 chassis. The potent combination of a lightweight
chassis fitted with a powerful engine proved to be unbeatable in
the hands of the right drivers, and the production-based Carrera
RSR 2.8 won several of the highest-profile races of the mid-1970's
ahead of prototype cars from Ferrari, Ford and Maserati, including
its race debut at the Daytona 24hrs as well as the Sebring 12hrs
and the iconic Targa Florio - sealing its place in motorsport
history. Like all HPI bodies, the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR
comes with a clear protective overspray film, window masks and a
large decal sheet. Made of flexible vinyl to fit every curve on the
body, the decal sheet includes official Porsche, Carrera & Martiini
decals, headlights, tail lights, and door handles, plus official
HPI Racing logos! The body also has drill locations marked for HPI
Cup Racer cars, making it easy to line up the body mount and
antenna holes.

tail lights, official logos and more - For a perfect finish with a
lot of details
